The Saints signed undrafted rookie guard Shawn Flanagan after he tried out during this weekend's rookie minicamp, according to his agents Terry and Kris Braun.

Flanagan, a 6-foot-5, 310-pounder from the University of Sioux Falls played tackle in college. He began his career at Oregon, where he was a part-time starter as both a freshman and sophomore. But he transferred after failing to meet academic requirements.

Flanagan tried out with the Minnesota Vikings last week before auditioning with the Saints this weekend.
